Holmes was recalled by the Pirates on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old has a 7.20 ERA in 15 innings for the Pirates this season. Jordan Luplow was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Minter (back) played catch Tuesday and hopes to be available for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Minter was unavailable Monday with back tightness and remains out Tuesday. Dan Winkler appears to be the primary closing option in Minter's absence.

Law was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Law was up for just a single day this time around, throwing a pair of scoreless innings with a strikeout and two walks Monday against the Mets. Chris Stratton was recalled from Double-A Richmond in a corresponding move.

Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic Atlanta reports.

This was fully anticipated, as Wilson was just making a spot start in his big-league debut Monday against the Pirates. However, he was impressive enough that Mark Bowman of MLB.com speculated that Wilson could make a few more starts for the Braves in September. If there is no need in the rotation, Wilson could be used as a weapon out of the big-league bullpen when rosters expand.

Wingenter (back) allowed one run on two hits in one inning Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Wingenter was unavailable for a few days after getting hit with a liner last week, but he was cleared to return over the weekend. The 24-year-old reliever now owns a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB across 6.1 innings with the Padres this season.

Blach has made his last three appearances out of the Giants' bullpen, tossing 5.2 innings over that span and giving up two runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five.

Blach picked up a spot start Aug. 11 against the Pirates after Chris Stratton was dropped from the rotation, but the lefty was unable to impress in the outing, giving up four runs over four innings to take the loss. The Giants have since opted to go with Casey Kelly as their fifth starter, with Stratton also set to rejoin the rotation Tuesday against the Mets to replace the injured Dereck Rodriguez (hamstring). Manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Rodriguez will likely be able to return from the disabled list over the weekend, so any window for Blach to rejoin the rotation looks like it has probably closed at this point.

Jansen (0-4) took the loss against the Cardinals on Monday, giving up two earned runs on three hits over one inning while striking out two with no walks in the Dodgers' 5-3 defeat.

The normally dominant right-hander put up an uncharacteristic stat line in his first appearance since his activation from the disabled list due to an irregular heartbeat, as he served up home runs to Jedd Gyorko and Matt Carpenter in the ninth inning and took his fourth loss of the season. This is a serious and unusual injury for an athlete to be dealing with, so it's hard to say exactly how much it may have impacted Jansen's performance. He will continue to close games for the Dodgers as long as he remains active.

Chargois left Monday's game against the Cardinals with neck discomfort, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Chargois entered in the fifth inning, walked a batter and did not record an out before getting pulled. He got two swinging strikes before throwing four straight balls to Marcell Ozuna, so the injury likely happened during that at-bat. It is unclear when he will be able to return to action.

Chargois left Monday's game against the Cardinals with an undisclosed injury, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

He was visibly upset that the Dodgers elected to take him out of the game in the fifth inning. Chargois walked a batter and did not record an out before getting pulled. He got two swinging strikes before throwing four straight balls to walk Marcell Ozuna, so the injury likely happened during that at-bat.

Wilson (1-0) tossed five scoreless innings Monday against the Pirates, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out five. He picked up the win.

Wilson was rewarded for an excellent minor-league season with a spot on the 40-man roster and a pre-September start in the majors. He is expected to be optioned back to Triple-A but will be back up in September. Mark Bowman of MLB.com said Wilson may make a few more big-league starts this season, but he could also be used as a weapon out of the bullpen. He doesn't have quite the name value of some other Braves pitching prospects, but Wilson has a chance to be as good as any of them. He has a very solid three-pitch repertoire and was comfortably sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball during his big-league debut. Prior to his promotion, he logged a 3.27 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 139:35 K:BB in 123.2 innings across the top three levels of the minors. He doesn't turn 21 until Dec. 20.
